Knightformers - Manuscript

Published:
4.8K Views

Description

This is my entry for :iconpurrv: 's Knightformers contest.

The theme was using Transformer characters and representing them doing knightly things.
I decided to use IDW's Rodimus' design and have him receive the Matrix, like a rite of passage for a new knight.

The colours are (partially) based on Medieval meaning of colour (and can be found in this site [link] )
Rodimus in white cloak for purity, virtue and innocence, Prime in Red cloak for sacrifice (blood or martyrs), power and importance.

Its meant to resemble an illuminated image for a manuscript.
The text is in Ancient Autobot font and reads:

INSCRIPTION: The most great and noble Optimus Prime, Guardian of Cybertron, chosen of Primus entrusting the brave and worthy Rodimus Prime with the keeping of the holy Matrix of Leadership

PRIME: Rodimus thou art worthy of bearing the Matrix

RODIMUS: Primus help me bear this great burden

I kept my hand drawing instead of using the pen tool (used in the architectural details).

Its very late and I'm really tired, so I'll add more details in the morning.

Many thanks to my fiancee :iconcrossfire120576: for cheering me up when I was down.
